De-Ticking Procedures

In the event that your pet picks up unwelcome environmental ticks, we have a process that can rid your pet of the pesky bugs.  With a fine toothed comb we go through your pet’s entire coat and body, including the ears, in between foot pads, and tail to search for any attached ticks.  Any ticks we find are then detached with a special tool that removes them, including their heads, from your pet’s body.

Once this is done, your pet undergoes a de-ticking treatment, a process that can take from to 5-10 minutes.  After this treatment your pet undergoes the standard bath treatment to wash away any bugs from its skin.  At this point, they are checked over again for any pesky ticks that may have been missed on the first session of de-ticking.

Finally your pet is ready to begin the grooming process.   This is a very long tedious process and can take several hours depending on your pet’s size and the amount of ticks present.  It is wise to call in advance to set an appointment date if you find your pet with these unwelcome guests.
